Abstract

Abstract : Who should attend: This workshop is aimed at anyone involved in primary medical training who has an interest in the development of non-technical skills. Working knowledge of the basics of immersive simulation is required, along with an understanding of basic clinical assessment of deteriorating patients. Level: Intermediate Background: Good non-technical skills are critical to the delivery of high quality, safe patient care. It is increasingly recognised that training in such skills should be incorporated into undergraduate curricula. 1 This interactive session will detail the development, piloting and validation of a recently published behavioural marker system designed to facilitate the formative assessment of medical students' non-technical skills, including their ability to escalate care effectively. 2 Intended learning outcomes: By the end of this session participants will: Be familiar with the concepts of non–technical skills (NTS) and behavioural marker systems (BMS); Understand how BMS have been developed within medicine and other health professional groups; Have considered the benefits and limitations of a BMS to assist the development of medical students' NTS and their ability to escalate care; Have experience of using the BMS to formatively assess medical students in the context of acute care simulation; Have had the opportunity to compare their ratings to those of other participants; Understand how the BMS can facilitate the provision of individualised, specific and meaningful feedback to assist in the development of NTS. Structure of workshop: Participants will have the opportunity to gain experience of using the behavioural marker system, compare their ratings with those given by others, and further their skills in the provision of meaningful, individualised feedback. Educational methods to be used: Brief didactic introduction followed by small group discussion based on video observations. Facilitated larger group discussions will also be integrated into the session. Please note that a different version of this workshop was presented at the 8th National Scottish Medical Education conference in April 2018. Further validation data and updated video materials will be available for this enhanced version. References: The General Medical Council. Generic Professional Capabilities Framework [Internet] 2017.
